Anyone who frequently travels through different worlds knows that if you start in a famine, you must bring a spatial dimension.
Lu Chen was no exception.
An accident caused Lu Chen to transmigrate to an ancient year of famine.
He found that he not only brought a spatial dimension but also a super armory.
Strictly speaking, it was a super arms dealer system.
In the transaction interface, Lu Chen saw countless types of weapons.
Besides various cold weapons like swords, spears, and halberds, there were even more firearms.
Handguns, rifles, submachine guns, armored vehicles, tanks, fighter jets, warships—not to mention the quantity, just the variety was countless.
In addition, there were all kinds of military supplies.
For example, various types of battlefield rations, rice, flour, grains, oil, chocolate, cigarettes, soda, cola, tents, sleeping bags, binoculars, night vision devices, medical first aid kits, all-season military uniforms, and even laptops...
In short, these military supplies covered all human survival needs.
Initially, when Lu Chen saw these supplies in the arms dealer system, he was overjoyed.
However, he quickly discovered that he could only look at these things but couldn't use them.
Because all these things needed to be purchased with money.
His pockets were cleaner than his face right now; he couldn't even pull out a single coin.
"Big Brother, come, the porridge is ready."
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, holding a broken bowl, called out timidly.
She was Lu Chen's nominal wife, Xie Qiao.
Yesterday, Lu Chen was so hungry he couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to go to the back mountain outside the village to dig some wild roots to fill his stomach.
Who knew he hadn't even reached the village entrance when he collapsed to the ground.
This allowed Lu Chen's soul from a later generation to occupy this body.
Lu Chen, who had transmigrated, lay in bed and waited for half a day before this bit of food arrived.
Lu Chen took the bowl, didn't even have time to look at it, and directly poured it into his stomach.
He was really starving.
"Ah... What the hell is this!"
Lu Chen's mouth was bitter and astringent; he wanted to spit it out but couldn't bear to, so he could only force himself to endure the discomfort and drink more than half a bowl in one go.
Only then did he notice that the bowl was clear and watery, with only a few wild roots floating in it.
"You call this porridge?"
Lu Chen couldn't help but look up at Xie Qiao.
At this moment, Xie Qiao was leaning forward, her eyes fixed on the wild roots in the bowl, and she made a swallowing motion.
Lu Chen felt a pang of pity and handed the bowl to Xie Qiao.
"I'm full, you eat these."
Xie Qiao quickly waved her hand: "Husband, you eat, you eat, I'm not hungry."
Lu Chen forcefully put the bowl into her hand: "You eat it, or I'll get angry."
Xie Qiao's appearance was originally good, but at this time, her face was sallow, and she was so thin she was unrecognizable.
When she walked, her body swayed, as if she could collapse at any moment.
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Xie Qiao had no choice but to take the bowl and walk towards the door.
"Hmm?"
Lu Chen suddenly saw a line of small characters appear above Xie Qiao's head: "Loyalty: 100."
He could actually see other people's loyalty to him?
Lu Chen was a little surprised.
"Oh, right, I remember there's a Newbie Gift Pack I haven't claimed yet."
Lu Chen was very much looking forward to it.
It would be great if the gift pack could open up tens of thousands of tons of rice.
He was only thinking about food right now.
"Open the gift pack!"
"Congratulations! You have received one hundred thousand Great Strength Pills!"
"Great Strength Pill: After use, the host can permanently gain a 10x strength increase, a 1x agility increase, and a 10x body toughness increase! Each person is limited to one use."
"If used by an unmarried maiden other than the host, she can permanently gain a 10x strength increase, a 1x agility increase, and a 10x body toughness increase! Each person is limited to one use."
Lu Chen was immediately overjoyed.
A 10x increase in strength, a 1x increase in agility, and a 10x increase in body toughness—this was too heaven-defying!
Strength goes without saying.
Agility represents reaction speed and movement speed.
As for body toughness, it should mean stronger bones and muscles, making one more resistant to blows, which counts as a 10x increase in defense.
This was like being half a superhuman.
However, there were too many Great Strength Pills given!
A full one hundred thousand!
He didn't even know who to give them to.
Lu Chen couldn't understand why these Great Strength Pills could only be used by unmarried maidens.
He immediately took out a Great Strength Pill from his spatial dimension.
This Great Strength Pill was about the size of a peanut, completely black, and emitted a faint medicinal fragrance.
Lu Chen thought for a moment, then put the Great Strength Pill into his mouth, tilted his head back, and swallowed it.
In an instant, a domineering force spread out from his stomach.
"Ah!"
A tearing pain struck, and Lu Chen couldn't help but let out a low growl.
Streams of energy surged wildly within his body, making him feel agonizing pain.
Fortunately, this pain only lasted for half a minute before quickly dissipating.
Lu Chen clenched his fists and felt power surging within him, as if he had endless energy.
It seemed he wasn't as hungry anymore either.
"Husband, Husband, what's wrong?"
Xie Qiao hurried in, her footsteps quick.
Lu Chen's cry of pain just now had startled her.
Lu Chen extended his hand, and another Great Strength Pill appeared in his palm.
"Xiao Qiao, come, eat this."
Without food, this Great Strength Pill could temporarily tide them over.
Moreover, such a good thing as the Great Strength Pill, his own wife must eat it.
Xie Qiao had fled to Lu Family Village more than a month ago, and being desperate, her father had exchanged her for three catties of cornmeal with Lu Chen's family.
At that time, Lu Chen's parents were still alive, but they had gone into the mountains to find food half a month ago and never returned.
"Husband, this is..."
Xie Qiao took the Great Strength Pill, held it in her hand, and looked at it repeatedly, not knowing what it was.
"Eat it, it's good stuff!"
Lu Chen gestured for Xie Qiao to eat quickly.
He felt the medicinal effects of the Great Strength Pill in his body; after eating it, he wouldn't starve for at least three to five days.
Xie Qiao didn't doubt him and pinched the Great Strength Pill, putting it into her mouth.
Soon, tiny beads of sweat seeped from her forehead.
Xie Qiao looked at Lu Chen with a pained expression.
"Hus... band... After I'm gone, you... must... live well... alone..."
Lu Chen was startled and quickly understood.
Xie Qiao wouldn't think this Great Strength Pill was poison, would she?
Lu Chen smiled: "Wife, just bear with it and it will pass."
At this moment, Xie Qiao's entire body was in pain.
Hearing Lu Chen's words, she resignedly closed her eyes, and a few tears streamed down her cheeks.
"This is good too, better than starving to death."
Xie Qiao thought this in her heart, and suddenly felt the pain in her body recede like a tide.
She suddenly opened her eyes, her face full of disbelief: "I didn't die?"
Lu Chen smiled: "How could I let my wife die?"
Xie Qiao frowned slightly; she felt as if her body had undergone a great change.
The biggest change was the disappearance of her previous hunger.
At the same time, she also had strength—especially great strength.
"Husband, what medicine did you give me?"
"Great Strength Pill!"
"Great Strength Pill? Is it a Great Strength Pill that can increase strength?"
Lu Chen nodded: "Yes!"
Xie Qiao's face showed shame, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Lu Chen: "I'm sorry, Husband, I thought you gave me..."
Lu Chen laughed: "You really are a silly child."
Xie Qiao lowered her head even further, fiddling with her long braid, her voice barely audible: "I'm not a child..."
